Message to a Survivor

The memories won't go away if you push them away.

Hi, I'm Name, and since everyone is speaking out about bad relationships, I want to share mine. (A thread) I was a minor, who was not ready for a relationship, and I'm asexual. I hate sexual touching and a lot of jokes. I will be referring to my boyfriend as K. K was not a good person, but I was attracted to terrible people. I told him at the beginning of the relationship that I was uncomfortable with sexual jokes and comments. This did not stop him, over the span of our 4 months of dating, he would concisely make disgusting remarks towards me. Some over text and some in public, I had expressed that I was uncomfortable with this type of talk towards me. (Mostly because I was a minor.) What I didn't know at the time was that I was not the first woman he had done this too. Most of the comments I dumbly ignored, or laughed nervously. K would get very upset if I didn't text him. Calling me out for being Distant or, annoying. would say dumb shit like 'Fuck myself or something', then he would reply with something weird or disgusting. K has had 3 relationships. Me, B, and W. W, he sent an inapposite pic to her and would say weird shit to her. B, He would grab their thighs, and ask them to send him pics. Me, he would say disgusting things to me even though I asked him not too. And C. K never dated C. He would say disgusting things to C, and "Accidentally" grab her boobs. That's not my story to tell. This lasted for months, with irl. He would sometimes tackle me, or grab me weirdly. I tried to protest for long months, without any avail. When I did call him out, he got defensive, saying I was switching sides. And It wasn't that serious. At the moment, I'm still dealing with this. And the mental pain it caused me, please don't ignore the signs. Or the signs in your kids. Thank you -Name
